Version control database schema the SQL Compare way from Red-Gate

In my last post on Version Control Database Schema I spoke about how you can use the build.xml file to recreate you database from the generate schemas, since then I have been chatting with their Product Manager David Atkinson.

David showed me something that I wasn't aware of and made it a little more automated in the process.
